Hi all,

I have recently noticed that when I start a vnc console, this also applies if I close it, and leave the browser open for several hours the memory usage grows enormously up to a point where the computer gets unresponsive. I have verified it with both firefox and google chrome.

java version "1.6.0_38"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_38-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.13-b02, mixed mode)

google-chrome --version
Google Chrome 24.0.1312.52

iceweasel --version
Mozilla Iceweasel 10.0.12
 
It is not that I am not able to start the vnc concole I only posted the link as a motivation to implemented a vnc solution with no dependencies to java:) Java in browser has proven itself to be an epic fail security wise.

Java is simply the only way to write reasonable code which runs inside 'any' browser. There is simply no other framework available. Just let us know if you know any alternative (no, I don't think JS is an alternative).
 
HTML5 comes to mind. It's a standard format which I found to be more compatible than JS even. There are VNC solutions using html5 already too, like http://kanaka.github.com/noVNC/ . There are others too, but at least thinVNC uses AJAX besides html5 so obviously thats to be avoided.

First, html5 is not a programming language. All those projects are using JS - which is incredible slow and clumsy compared to java.

Also AXAJ stand for: Asynchronous JavaScript and XML - so this is only JavaScript.
